Held at SGX Auditorium, SGX Centre on Friday, 26th of January, Boardagender was pleased to launch the report with Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth delivering the keynote address.

“This is a ground breaking report, the first of its kind which seeks to specifically understand the board diversity landscape in Singapore. BoardAgender is committed to be at the core of an ecosystem to enable the acceleration of more women on boards." comments Ms Junie Foo, Chairperson of Boardagender.

The study “20 by 2020: Gender Diversity on Singapore Boards – A Path to Action”, conducted in collaboration between the Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI) and BoardAgender, highlights much-needed transformations in board processes that are required to advance the diversity agenda. Based on 41 in-depth interviews carried out with stakeholders from representative groups of companies of different industries and market, the study also suggests strategies that aspiring female directors can undertake to enhance the odds of their nomination and subsequent selection. The report was funded by Accenture, ADP, Goldman Sachs, Singtel and TAFEP, and supported by Banyan Tree Holdings, KPMG, Shell and the Diversity Action Committee.
